Summary

[edit]
Description

Raytheon Aircraft Co Hawker 850XP c/n 258813, parked at Male International Airport (VRMM/MLE)

In 1961, de Havilland began working on a revolutionary small business jet known as DH.125 Jet Dragon. The first of two prototypes flew on 13 August 1962 powered by the Bristol Siddeley Viper turbojet

The aircraft went through many designation changes during its service life. Originally DH.125, it was renamed to HS.125 when de Havilland became a part of the Hawker Siddeley group in 1959. When Hawker Siddeley Aircraft merged with BAC to form British Aerospace in 1977, the name changed to BAe 125. Then, when British Aerospace sold its Business Jets Division to Raytheon in 1993, the jet acquired its current monicker Raytheon Hawker.

The current version is identified as the Hawker 850XP and was certified for operation in March 2006. The 850XP includes winglets which have extended its operating range by 100 nautical miles. This version also incorporates upgraded avionics and a redesigned interior. source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAe_125
